Email subject lines are by convention a short explanation of the message. Commit messages, regardless of the SCM, should be the same. The difference with git, and what I inferred from this article, is that commit messages should be verbose.

I agree completely that one should not optimize for one area without taking in account the penalties incurred on the other areas. I hope I didn't give that impression. One of the more major reasons of GNU developing the habit of writing uti

They're a non-profit before they are Something Awful forum members. Not trying to disrespect goons here, I'm one also, but the priorities need to be straightened. See RiderOfGiraffe's comment on this same page.

Most of UNIX's utilities were written with high regard for their memory use. When GNU decided to clone them all, they actually outlined that their developers were forbidden to even review UNIX sourcecode. Convention stated that they all try

It's nothing more than Jeff Verkoeyen being the gatekeeper for the project's repo, the same way a tightly controlled SVN repo might be. He's supposed to review every line of code that goes into it, and the commit it himself. But everyone kn

I think it is highly practical, since one very skilled designer and CSS programmer with enough programming skill (or a team) can create a template that many other less skilled and less experienced designers can then take and use at will. Th

Xcode already has distributed compilation support. I've never used Visual Studio, so I can't comment on if it has support or not. Either way, a cloud-like compiler 'front-end' might be a decent idea, as long as you factor in the CPU costs i

Not only that, but combine some random code you don't really know about, and slightly less than stellar (aka average) security practices on the web and you might end up with a backdoor trojan implemented in your open source project: http:
